PAGE FOTfRTEETJ' BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1933. Wk Outrageous Fortune tYXOPSItt Kesta Ridden ha told "Jimmy Riddell" that he is her husband, thnt he hat stolen the Van Berg emerald and that their " owner, lie hat had a blow an the head, and can't niiwm&er hi fast. Caroline Leigh, searching tor Aer missing eouein Jim Randall fear 'Jimmy Rtddell" may b he; she hat ticked up Neeto'M trail through a bill for a coal seuttl, and plane to find her in Ledllngton end question her. Caroline is talk ing urith Patsy Arbuthnn' tclth ihom she lives. .j Chapter IS AT LEDLINGTON "T THINK you might talk (bout something," said Patsy In an ag grieved voice. Caroline was quit ready to talk about anything except Jim. . "What shall ire talk about r "You might have brought an eve ning paper." Pansy was still ag grieved. "I wasn't near one. What did you want It for?" "I wanted to know whether there was anything more about the emer ' aids and Mr. Van Berg." "Why should there bet" Caroline wasn't really listening. She was thinking that she could get to Ledllngton by eleven. She was thinking that fourteen hours was a , very long time to wait "Well." Patsy went on, "he'll Hher be better or else worse. Won't nlum. . . ." Sb withdrew herself from this fascinating ezerelsa with a start. "Ch yes If you'd b so awfully kind. No, I dont want on for my self." "We're got tome very nice ones, mlw." Caroline looked politely at black purdonlum with a wreath of pink roses. She looked, and looked away, controlling an Inward shudder. "I think Mrs. Rlddell bought on here. And this Is the bill she dropped It, and I'd like to glv It back to her, but I don't know the ad dress, so I thougbt perhaps you would be very kind and let m have It" The young man asked nothing bet ter than to be very kind to Caroline. He made a number of most helpful suggestions, such as, why bother about the bill, as It was a cash pay ment and no chauce of Its being sent In again; and "Let us have It miss, and we'll see It's posted to Mrs. Rld dell, and no need for you to trouble." Caroline banded all these sugges tions back wltb gentle tact She thought the red-balred young man was rather a lamb, Sho succeeded In making It Quite clear that she wanted Mrs. Rlddell't address. HEN It cam to the point the young man bad to go and ask Caroline wanted Mrs. Rlddell's address. . It be dreadful It he dies? Jim bar ing known him seems to bring It home so. You know, of course It must be wonderful to have the finest emeralds In the worloV-and I sim ply adore emeralds don't youT but Just think of the anxiety. Even If they get them back. I shouldn't think that Mrs, Van Berg would ever waqt to wear them again anyhow not If be dies. I should think she'd always feel as If there was blood on .them." Caroline winced, not visibly, but ' deep Inside herself. She couldn't talk about a woman who was wait ing to know whether ber husband wss going to die. Jim bed written about the Van Bergs from New York they had been twfully good to him Mrs. Van Berg was pretty and kind. The emeralds were like a fairy tale. Now It was spoilt. Bhe couldn't sear to think about kind, pretty Bust Van Berg with everything fallen to bits around her. A shot In the night hsd broken the fstry tale. Eh wished that Patsy Ann would stop picking over the pieces. CAROLINE left ber csr In the Mar ket Square at Ledllngton next day. Then she walked round the cor ner Into Market Street and pene trated Into Mr. Smithies' Ironmon gery. The day was damp and rather mnggy, and the shop was full of mingled smells of paraffin, turpen tine, varnish, tin-ware, and creosote. Caroline asked for coalscuttles, and having been led Into the corner which they shared wltb patent wringers, lawn-mowers snd wheel barrows, she produced Mrs. Rld dell's bill and smiled trustingly upon a trockled young man whose red hair rose a sheer three Inches from a rather pallid brow. "I do wonder If you can help me," aid Caroline, her voice very soft and deep. "It would be so very kind i you would." The yoling man blushed. He wss a susceptible young man. "Was It anything in the way of a Burdonlum?" Spoken, th word was completely awe-lnsplrlng. Caroline found her self echoing It In a rapt mental reci tative: "Cadmium chromium uphonlum harmonium purdo- Mlss Smithies, a pale angular youug woman In plncenes, and atter some wrinkling of the brow Miss Smith ies recollected that Mrs. Rlddell was staying with young Mrs. Williams out at Ledllngton End. Yes, that was It because the pur donlum had been got for a wedding present and Mrs. Williams came and helped choose It "and let m see what's the name of the house? Not The Nest nor Cosy Corner, but something after tbat style." Miss Smithies was afraid she'd have to look It up, and having looked It up, gave the address as In cars of Mrs. T. Williams, Happlcot Sand rlngham Drive "and you go right out to Ledllngtof End and straight past the War Memorial, and Sand rlngham Drive's the first turning on tbe loft atter you pass the Kosy Kor ner tea house and you needn't men tion It I'm sure; It's no trouble." Caroline drove past the Kosy Kor ner tea-house, which displayed rus tlo soots and orange and chocolate striped umbrellas. Then she turned Into Sandrlngham Drive, It was a bright, clean little road full of bright, clean litis houses, all new and shiny like the toys oft a Christ mas Tree. Happlcot was the seventeenth house on the left, and It was not as up to date as tbe other sixteen. They bad for tbe most part casement cur tains In shades of orsnge, scarlet, rose-pink, or delpblnlum-blue; but the parlor windows of Happlcot were hung wltb blue plush and Not tingham lac. Th garden was raw earth, with a scarlet geranium sur rounded by a circle of lobelia set out In the middle o' It Caroline lifted th latch of th rustic gate, walked up a bright yel low gravel patb, and knocked upon th front door. It was Nesta Rld dell who opened It She looked at Carolina with a mixture of surprise and suspicion.' "Flag-day, or some thing of tbat sort," sha said to her self, and prcpsred to shut the door. "Mrs. Rlddell?" said Caroline. Nesta nodded. If sh wasn't col lecting for something, whst on earth could she.want? Suspicion deep ened. (Citnftfht, Jill, J. B. Llpplscort Co.) Caroline sn.'
